Actually I have never met a Christian who believed in evolution (I've know hundreds of Christians of various backgrounds). They believe in what the Bible says, and it says right in the first few lines that the world was created. Most religions tend to believe in a form of a higher power making the world. So I'm not sure where the line "Actually, the majority of christians accept evolution" comes from and how it can be true.

Well, for one thing, most of us define "Christian" as "one who believes in the divinity of Christ", as opposed to "the 60 members of my evangelical Baptist church". For another, evolution has nothing to do with the creation of the world. Even if God created the world, that doesn't mean humans and chimps don't share a common ancestor.
You've never met a Christian who believed evolution was possible? Either you're repressing some memories, or you made your first foray out of Amish country on the day you sat down in front of a computer to type this drivel. Even in the Bible Belt, you can find Christians who are willing to accept clear fossil evidence.
How do you know that God didn't create the world through the process of evolution? Genesis 1 wasn't exactly written by eyewitnesses, you know.
They believe in what the Bible says...
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The problem here is that this relates "who", not "how".
Well, that's funny, because I've met loads of Christians from a variety of locations and denominations, and a grand total of two didn't believe in evolution.
I guess the Pope is not Christian, then...
What does evolution have to do with the world being created or not? Evolution is about diversification. God might have started it after he created the world. It is after all a very effective way of Nature regulating itself, without God having to be hands-on all the time.
